4 - Baby Pinecone

Great capture. The pinecone caught my eye first then I noticed the snow. It is really neat how the snow is just sitting on top of the branches and the pinecone is facing you. The blue bokeh adds some very nice color.

Pine cone is definitely cute. Almost like a rosebud (nevermind it's upside down, brown and surrounded by pine needles.). Heehee. I love the lighting on the needles and snow bt wished for a little more on the cone.

P.S. love the blue background.

Completely non-tradition image (based on other submissions), but that is its strength. Very catching, with wonderful lighting and detail. Nicely done!

Great perspective! I almost missed the little guy spying on you. He adds nicely to your image.

Wonderful photo. I recognize the "someone who doesn't like posing for me as much any more" part.

Not offended at all. Just irritated by the general consensus that this might be DQ-able and then no one submits a validation request. (Probably because DPC is full of a lot of nice people.)

Also, I'm now bumming that the strongest point of this image was my watermark :) lol.

Actually, when you find it, I challenge you to post the rule here and in the forums. And if something is found and it gets DQ'd... c'est la vie. No big deal.
